This week on TagAlong we are celebrating Day of The Dead which is 31st October, 1st and 2nd November. I'm really drawn to the colours and skeletons of this celebration. So much fun! Hope you think so too.

Here's my tag... I love to use quotes on my projects and so I googled Day of the Dead sayings, and this one popped up.... it means To hell with death while we're still alive.

here's a close up

Thanks to Deb for hosting this week, with an amazing sample ~ head over to Tagalong to join in or just to swoon at Deb's creative genius!TFLMandy x

I fondly remember reading that book to my girls when they were young.
Just lately, we've not had much of a chance to do anything together much but we did manage a walk up to Elvaston Castle. We mainly went to look at the old church and graveyard there. I'm so glad it's in walking distance of our house.

and also I'd like to enter this into the One stitch at a Time ~ use a digi. Now ... I'm having a hard time getting the 'digi' part of the theme.... is this classed as using a digi? It's an image that I've printed out. On this particular tag, I've printed the background text out too, as well as the lace and all the elements.

All the elements, pictures, background are cut out individually and pasted ;-)

for some reason I'm singing Hocus Pocus in my head to the same tune as Jeepers Creepers. Odd. Recently, I had a convo with our Deb on the theme and she mentioned Hocus Pocus by Focus. Now that is all I think when I think of the Hocus Pocus... Focus just has to be added!

Anyhoo, I digress ~ this week's host on Tagalong is Gez. I'm so pleased as I love her work.

For this tag, I've used distress paints for the background. Images are from Hidden Vintage Studio at Deviantscrap, Lisas Altered Art, Majik designs on Etsy and the skull is from Itkupilli.

It's the first Thursday in October and over on TagAlong we are embracing Hallowe'en. Our first challenge is SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES... I loved that book. The theme was chosen by Carol
Here's my tag... it's made using some Hidden Vintage Studios collage images from the 'hotel hell' collection.
